Jenny L. Mace Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hi there fellow chicken keepers/carers! *Opportunity to participate in the most comprehensive survey about backyard chicken-keeping!* Please fill out this survey to help understand the chicken-keeping/rescuing community more and to enhance backyard/rescued chicken welfare! The survey seeks to collect the most detailed information to date regarding backyard chicken owners’ current care-taking practices, relationship types with their chickens and attitudes towards chickens. For the first time in a survey about backyard chickens, questions are asked to distinguish between different types of chicken such as ex-commercial or not, adopted or not and hen or rooster/cock. This survey also aims to gather data on more niche/novel care-taking practices. Anyone from any country who keeps chickens in a non-commercial capacity is welcome to fill-in this survey. A £50 voucher redeemable at a chicken-oriented charity/shop near to you can also be won if you enter the prize draw when prompted. This research is being completed in by Jenny L. Mace, ex-commercial hen carer and visiting lecturer at the University of Winchester, UK. Please help to share this Image of an ex-commercial hen named Bhavantu Thank you! Jenny :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beantree Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 A better questionnaire than most, but some are not very educated and some are probably marketing based so don't give them your email address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mace Somewhat thinly disguised I think, looking at the profile of the author. In my professional opinion its a poor questionnaire as well, far too long, some leading questions, too much extraneous information being requested and some poor options as answers.
